not sure what true duals you have but I personally have never one that was pretty quite at idle, although I have never heard one with out a cam so that might have something to do with it.

I think Im seriously considering a hooker catback...I would like some feedback on just changing the loudmouth rapernator. Its a 2 1/2" catback not 3" so I dont even think it would be worth it since my header to the catback is 3"

Corsa is my vote, Ive got it and its a nice little pur at idle so its good to keep quite when you want to and when you punch it, it comes to life

The most quiet would be SLP dual-dual from what I heard. B&B Triflo is pretty quiet too. And that's what I have.

got my hooker exhaust on and i love it....its pretty quiet at idle and theres no rasp at all and it sounds pretty damn good at wot in my opinion. wot makes it sound like a completely different exhaust, you'd never expect it when you hear the idle

That's what I'm hoping. I just picked up a Hooker cat-back to replace my Magnaflow. Sanded it down and painted it with chassiscoat last night, can't wait to install it

Magnaflow sounded great stock, but once I got everything installed, it was very very raspy and too loud to hear my I've-got-a-voice-like-a-mouse girlfriend. Hopefully the Hooker will somewhat make those problems a bit better. The car is also getting like 75lbs of RAAMmat sound deadening and I undercoated the entire bottom of the car, so it should be much quieter this year anyways...at least on the inside
